Domain 1: Organization Configuration 25% of exam
Question 1
During an evacuation, an administrator discovers that a hosted layer containing residents' addresses and assistance needs is shared with Everyone as well as the authorized response group. Disabling anonymous access to the organization's website has not stopped unsigned users from opening the layer through a public ArcGIS URL. Responders still need live access. Which immediate change contains the exposure while preserving their access?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Remove Everyone sharing from the layer; retain its sharing with the authorized response group.
Question 2
A custom basemap works for its owner. Other signed-in members can open its gallery web map, but the basemap's tile requests return authorization errors. Both the gallery group and the web map are shared with the organization; the referenced hosted tile layer is private. Where should the administrator correct access for the intended internal audience?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Share the referenced hosted tile layer with the organization.
Question 3
The organization's only geosearch locator is the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service. Staff need Canadian address results only; changing the map extent has not excluded foreign matches. How should the search configuration be revised?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Use a Canada-restricted locator view in place of the unrestricted geosearch locator.
Domain 2: Usage Monitoring 20% of exam
Question 4
Before running GeoEnrichment, an analyst requests approval to add eight variables to each of 600 service areas. GeoEnrichment costs 10 credits per 1,000 attributes. The analyst has 35 credits remaining in a limited allocation; the organization has 1,200 credits. All areas and variables are required, and the analyst has the necessary privileges. What is the smallest increase to the analyst's allocation that permits this job?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - An increase of 13 credits
Question 5
An administrator must identify the account behind yesterday's change to a dashboard's web-map reference. Which report-and-field pairing distinguishes the account that made the change from the item owner?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - An Activity report, using actor for the matching item-update event.
Domain 3: Member Management 35% of exam
Question 6
A GIS analyst with a Creator user type and the User role can save web maps and edit shared features, but cannot publish a CSV with latitude and longitude as a hosted feature layer. The file is valid, and the organization has credits available. The analyst is authorized to publish hosted feature layers but not to perform spatial analysis. What should the administrator change?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Assign a custom User-derived role with hosted feature layer publishing.
Question 7
Six seasonal employees already have public ArcGIS accounts that do not belong to an organization. They are to join the employer's ArcGIS Online organization using those accounts rather than newly assigned usernames. Sufficient user-type seats are available. Select the onboarding method that accommodates this requirement.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Invite them to join using an account of their choice.
Question 8
An analyst must publish hosted layers and use ArcGIS Pro Standard for an established desktop workflow. A publishing-capable role will be assigned. The organization wants the lowest user type whose included Pro license meets the requirement, without a separately assigned Pro upgrade. Which user type fits?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Professional
Domain 4: Content Management 20% of exam
Question 9
A water utility wants a public map showing only Active repair jobs in the North district. Its hosted feature layer also contains closed jobs, other districts, customer names, and phone numbers. Dispatchers must keep editing the complete dataset, and the public map must reflect those edits without maintaining a second dataset. Which design enforces the required public access?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Restrict the source to dispatchers; create a public read-only hosted view for North AND Active, excluding names and phone numbers.
Question 10
Three Creator members assigned the User role take turns maintaining one web map. They already belong to an ordinary group that allows item contributions. They need to save changes to the map's layer arrangement under its existing owner, without administrator roles. Which proposed group change actually enables that coauthoring?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Create a shared update group, add the analysts, and share the map with it.
